[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 9234, member: 696"] Andre, besides the TSH and FT4, the thyroid labs they ran for you are "spinners". They look cool, they sound important, but in the end they just spin like a load of laundry without providing much of anything! FT4 is your storage hormone, and it's sitting at 46% of it's range value. When looking at range values, a lot of the folks in the thyroid community, including myself, look at aiming for FT4 and FT3 to be 50% to 80% of the range value, combined with keeping Reverse T3 in check when comparing the FT3/RT3 ratios. Ultimately, with the thyroid, we all need to know how effectively T3 is getting into our body. If you can get your Free T3- triiodothyronine (not the uptake or any of that stuff), Reverse T3, and antibodies (TPO and TgAb), I will be glad to give you my thoughts. On the physician, I'd personally rather see one that is confident with knowledge from his/her experiences and training, as opposed to one that is "casual". Hormones is serious business, just make sure you're getting the very best care for your well being. [/QUOTE]
